...attention inward. Throughout the Asian rimland there are signs-some faint, some clearly visible-that peace and order have begun to creep into the ascendant. Politically, only one nation-Indonesia -still thrashes in chaos. Economically, inflation has hurt eastern Asia less than some others; several nations, led by Japan, are surging toward prosperity...
...Japan. Shocked into numbed inferiority by World War II's defeat, the country is finally finding its feet under Premier Nobusuke Kishi, who has given Japan its strongest government since 1945. By uniting the conservative factions, Kishi decisively reduced any chance that the Socialists, who had their brief try in 1947-48, may gain power in the foreseeable future. Though Communists have infiltrated some trade unions, their influence in the country has been contained. Economically, Japan's resurgence is comparable to West Germany's; e.g., the gross national product has doubled since...
...created a stable regime, emerged as one of the East's strongest statesmen. Though Saigon's recent bombings show that Communists can still break the peace, Diem has the threat to internal security under control. With an annual per capita income of $144, Viet Nam trails only Japan, Malaya and the Philippines in the area.

U.S. aid ($250 million this year) keeps his army in the pink and his budget in the black...
...Japan's Crown Prince Akihito, 24 this week, reported to his three humble tutors on his studies of fish psychology. First, he had trained some salmon, bass and carp to associate their feeding time with the lighting of a red lamp. Having established a conditioned reflex which led the fish to expect food whenever the light was switched on. Akihito then impaired their vision by tinkering with their ophthalmic nerves. His scientific conclusion from the experiment (no surprise): the delicate operation caused the fish to "lose their previous ability to connect the lamp's red glow with food...
...Prince. Thanks to such searchers as Twentieth Century's Mel Stuart and James McDonough, TV shows glimpses of history that might languish forever unseen. Some of the rare footage comes from wartime enemy-made films, e.g., Japan's own record of the attack on Pearl Harbor. From a onetime lady-in-waiting at the Czarist court, whom he found in New Jersey, Stuart once got 8,000 precious feet of royal family life, including the Czar swimming in the buff. Sometimes unusual film gets scrapped. Example: a shot of Charlie Chaplin doing a little jig for visiting Winston...
